I got drivers for XP and Linux from the Alfa site. I selected the high-power
version, which should match your device.

I don't know what version is in the Windows version, but the Linux version has
rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007, which is pretty old. I have
rtl8187L_linux_26.1038.0626.2009, rtl8187L_linux_26.1039.0104.2010, and
rtl8187L_linux_26.1040.0820.2010 on my disk. At this point, I'm not sure which
version was used to generate the in-kernel Linux driver. Perhaps Herton
remembers, but it had to be something about the 2007 time frame.

I had to build a new Windows XP system in a virtual machine. The one I already
had won't run on the machine I have now and the original is in the shop. Access
to the new host is restricted to mornings.
